Otsuka Lotec No. 6 Watch

Jiro Katayama’s independent watch brand reintroduces its Otsuka Lotec No. 6 Watch. The updated model features a fan-shaped dial with a retrograde display. Hours and minutes are arranged parallel to each other, and the hands share an axis at 6 o’clock. A seconds disk in the center and a date display to the right complete the display. Its in-house MIYOTA 9015 movement is attached directly to the dial with screws, lining up the dial and the bezel for a more streamlined appearance. Additional improvements to the model include changing the case material from SUS303 to SUS316L and the glass from mineral to sapphire crystal. The No. 6 will be sold only in Japan starting in January.
